Get ready for a spectacular, laugh-out-loud GIANT adventure as Jack and the Beanstalk arrives at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre from Fri 5 Dec 2025 – Sun 4 Jan 2026.

Starring Olivier award-winner Nigel Harman (EastEnders, Casualty and Strictly) as the villainous Fleshcreep alongside the return of family favourite and local legend, Andy Collins (BBC Three Counties radio) playing Silly Simon, and Leon Craig celebrating 20 years of being a dame like no other – this year’s panto is bigger, bolder, and funnier than ever!

Expect a jovial Jack, a punch-packing Jill Pickle, a feisty fairy, a silly sibling, a witty widow, a slippery servant … and a very large magical plant, of course!

Including incredible 3D special effects, a new set and all the memorable moments audiences have come to know and love – (including the infamous 12 Days of Christmas of course!), this year’s production is one not to miss.

With the biggest hits, sizzling choreography and glitzy costumes that could outshine the Strictly glitterball, you have a festive extravaganza the whole family will enjoy.

The Panto you’ve BEAN waiting for!
